In what seems like a never-ending flow of updates from Fishlabs, the developers have released an all new update for Galaxy on Fire – Alliances onto the App Store with plenty of new content, features, and changes just yesterday. To get us started this new “Space Travelers” update raises the tech level of all structures from 10 to 20 and shows the positions and travel routes of the players’ carriers directly on the star map. Going forward, the update also introduces additional technologies as well as achievements which can be completed by players for rewards ranging from credits to special in-game prizes. Aiming to make the game as fair as possible, Fishlabs has also done some balancing which lowered the maximum ship defense bonus from the planetary shield from 400% down to 250%. In addition, players should see performance boosts now during multilayer battles and in general. Because there’s so much to cover, we’ve broken down the update in two sections (that can be seen below) that cover the new features and the bug fixes.

New Features

Star map: Trace the positions and travel routes of your carriers directly on the star map

Achievements: Take on various new challenges and collect additional XP

Alliance administration: Find available alliances more easily (at the beginning of the game) an join them without the hurdle of a double confirmation.

Travel Times: Make use of the adjusted travel times in your home system to reach your “inner” planets much faster than before.

Tutorial: Learn the game’s basics quicker by means of an improved tutorial.

Intro: Check out the intro sequence with German subtitles.

Planet icon: Tap the planet icon to be directed to the planet action menu and the arrow on the right to get straight to the planet view screen.

Options: Switch the game options back to default whenever you’re in need of a reset.

Performance: Enjoy the game with improved server stability and better overall performance.

Bug Fixes

“Shipyard” bug fixed: In the shipyard, some players have received a random error message that prevented them from building a carrier unless they closed the app and restarted the client. This bug no longer occurs in the current version.

“Wrong alliance” bug fixed: In the past, some alliance members have been directed to a wrong alliance when they tapped the “My Alliance” button. This bug has now been fixed.

“Camera position” bug fixed: When a player proceeds from the carrier screen to the star map, the camera position is now adjusted correctly.

“Alliance screen” bug fixed: When a player leaves an alliance, the respective notification symbol is no longer stuck to the alliance screen and top menu.

“Travel times” bug fixed: The travel times are now calculated and displayed correctly.

Various crashes and performance issues fixed.

Finally to put the icing on the cake, this update is completely free to current owners and is included at no charge for first time players. Speaking of that, Galaxy on Fire – Alliancesis available on the App Store for free as well.
